One of my "favorite" issues with win/DOS has always been its use of CR+LF combinations. Why? Because all browsers interpret the thing as a SPACE.
AFAIK this is an HTML thing, not a win/DOS thing. The HTML spec treats any whitespace as a space.
Well unix uses only cr by default, and browsers do not interpret that as a whitespace.
I'm sure you meant to type 'uses only lf by default'. The standard unix text separator is the newline, 0x0A, often shown as \n. Not cr, 0x0D, often shown as \r. -- cary
Or is there already a way to avoid this? I ran into the same problem (using Linux), and there isn't really anyway to get around it, apart from having un-nicely formatted DTML source.
Maybe a problem with the way the textarea editor netscape etc work.
